The idea of boxers fighting in teams to collect points and then having the winners awarded with extra prize money brings something new to boxing. What do you think is next after Queensberry vs. Matchroom 5v5?
Turki Al-Sheikh mentioned a possible USA vs. Mexico matchup on Twitter with the following boxers participating:
Crawford vs. Canelo (168 lbs)
Plant vs. Munguia (168 lbs)
Stevenson vs. Cruz (135 lbs)
Figueroa vs. Lopez (126 lbs)
Fulton vs. Nery (126 lbs)
USA vs. UK is also an option, according to Eddie Hearn. It makes for interesting matchups as well. Personally, I like the idea of more events like this as long as they don't interfere with elite fights happening.
Queensberry vs. Matchroom is marketed as "your five best versus our five best," but that's actually not the case. Anthony Joshua, for example, is sitting in the first row watching two heavyweight fights he could be involved in but isn't, because he'd destroy the "five evenly matched fights" narrative. Or Joseph Parker, also on the sideline.
